“Slow Down” by Selena Gomez

When Selena Gomez released the unusually interesting “Come And Get It”, I probably should have released that that didn’t automatically mean that she was suddenly going to be consistently releasing good material, but I got my hopes up, and this second single from herStars Dance album brought me down to earth. Granted, this song isn’t as insipid as the worst of Gomez’s early teenybopper stuff, but the Cataracs’ production is their usual lifeless, irritating work, and anyway this is a pretty formulaic sex song with some particularly lame double-entendres in the lyrics. The cutesy pseudo-improvised ending a la “Your Love Is My Drug” is particularly annoying, and I’m displeased to see that trend hasn’t died yet.
